(dramatic epic music)

What a shot, I bet you couldn't do better, Mum!

Not with an arrow.

We women have weapons of our own.

Not bad, heh?

Wow.

(laughing)

Help, get me out of here!

They're trying to kill me!

Come out and fight like men!

(groaning)

Hey, that's me!

I wanna be an adventurer,

with tales of my exploits on everyone's lips.

I'd rather be a queen, eating breakfast in bed

and then trying on my millions of gowns!

And you will be my feathered page.

What do you think about that?

I hate to say it, Your Majesty,

but your subjects are already starting to rebel!

Help, Ulysses!

We're under attack by.

Drop your weapon, invader!

Well, Athena, I've just won our bet!

Your darling Ulysses will never see Ithaca again!

I'm sorry, Ulysses, we were outnumbered

and they came at us so fast.

Hey, has anyone noticed

a distinct lack of guys in this place?

You know, I've heard about a land of women warriors,

but I thought it was just another tall tale.

What do you think they do to men?

Looks like we're about to find out.

Though, without meaning to sound pessimistic,

I can't imagine that it's going to be fun!

Men, disgusting! And invaders, to boot!

We were only passing through.

Actually, an invasion was the last thing on our minds.

They're lying.

For days now, they've been stealing our water

and poaching our game!

I am truly sorry, Ma'am.

But there seemed to be plenty of fresh water,

fish, and pheasants to spare!

Quiet!

As for you, birdbrain,

you will receive a warrior's training.

- [Nisa] Oh no!

On the other hand, you men

will most definitely be punished.

Once we have chosen our new Queen,

she will be the one to decide your fate.

Sorry, guys, I did what I could,

but, for some strange reason,

this lady seems immune to my boyish charm!

Fellow Amazons, for three days,

we have mourned the untimely death

of our dear Queen Salmira.

Tonight, by ancient law, the sacred armor of Athena

will select our new Queen.

Candidates, come forward.

Even the armor is playing hard to get!

Ouch!

Fellow Amazons, I fear that our goddess, Athena,

is angry with us and therefore refuses to chose a new Queen!

We have no choice but to make a sacrifice.

If we don't want to end up on the block,

we'd better start racking our brains for a way out!

Ladies, I'd like to try my luck with that trendy armor,

if you don't mind.

Things can't possibly get any worse.

Besides, I think I've got a shot!

Keep quiet, urchin! You're not an Amazon yet!

Forgive me, Great Priestess,

but custom allows her request.

Very well.

From "urchin to queen" in under 50 seconds!

That's gotta be a new world's record!

Athena must know I've betrayed her

which is why she's trying to thwart our plans!

My power is such, I can destroy that armor in seconds

and create it anew, just like that!

Remember, I promised you the throne and my protection!

But you must deliver Ulysses, in return.

It is my duty to present you with your weapons,

honored Queen.

Thanks, Tyra.

This is what she's always dreamed of.

Should be easy sailing, from here on in!

Don't count on it.

And now, mighty Queen,

you must decide the male prisoner's fate.

Actually, I don't think a sacrifice is all that necessary.

They should--

According to custom, my Queen,

those not sacrificed become slaves.

So be it!

The Compa, err, I mean the the men, will become slaves!

Don't worry!

She's just getting the hang of this Queen thing.

We won't be slaves for long!

Ready?

Keep your guard up!

Staff higher!

No, not that high!

Stop, stop.

Stop!

Are you trying to do me in, or what?

I am simply performing my duty, Queen!

The ruler of the Amazons must be a faultless warrior!

Drop it, featherbag! Go and get your own!

This is no fit behavior for a queen!

And as for this animal.

(rhythmic drum music)

What a disgrace.

These slaves are the worst dancers I've ever seen!

This has gone far enough!

You must deal with Ulysses!

As long as he's alive,

Poseidon will refuse to make me Queen!

But what about Queen Nisa?

We got rid of Queen Salmira, didn't we?

Compared to her, that kid will be a walk in the park!

I never got to see Tyra's accomplice,

so we'll have to be extra watchful.

All this monarchy nonsense is enough of a royal pain,

without having to deal with treacherous harpies, as well!

Hang in there, Queenie!

You're doing a right royal job!

And what game will the Queen be hunting, today?

An endangered species.

I think she means us! We've gotta get out of here!

Hate to foul up your hunt, girls,

but we're not big game material!

Get them!

Have you been putting on weight?

Thanks, guys! I appreciate your help!

This is exactly where I was told you would be.

I'm so sorry!

They fell into the abyss before I could help them.

It can't be true!

They shouldn't have tried to get away!

Oh well, it's not as if they mattered!

Ulysses told me she was planning to kill him.

That scheming sorceress is gonna wish

she'd never messed with Queen Nisa!

Are we in the Underworld?

Don't think so.

Unless Hades has hired a new breed of Guardians.

The truth is, if it weren't for Tyra's deal with Poseidon,

we'd be on our way home to Ithaca.

So, that traitor, Tyra, bribed a god with you

so he'd help her rule instead of me.

I'm Queen Salmira, and Tyra used Poseidon to get rid of me.

Now you know how Ulysses and Titan felt!

Tyra attacked me during a cleansing ceremony

in the Water Temple.

Then she dumped me here, thinking I was a goner.

I presume you've looked for a way out?

I'm afraid we're here for keeps unless you can fly.

It looks easy to climb this side

and then that side, up to the top.

The only problem is crossing from one side to the other,

because you'd have to jump!

Too far!

Not if I learn how to fly!

From now on, owls can eat

at the table with the rest of us!

Hey, I'm the queen.

And whatever I say, goes!

- [Titan] Won't work!

Of course it will! I feel like a bird already!

All set?

A-one, a-two and a-three.

All right! You see!

It looks like I'm a bird, after all!

I'm going to climb up and fetch a few vines

to get you both out, as well.

I must admit, you've got a lot of imagination for a man!

Oh, please, Your Majesty, you'll make me blush!

Let's head back to the city!

It's time we had a chat with that nasty witch, Tyra.

- [Both] You're alive!

We thought you were goners!

We were but now we're back!

Where's Nisa?

She went off with Tyra to.

Oh yes, for a cleansing ceremony in the Water Temple!

Oh no, that's how Tyra tricked me.

That ceremony is the one time the queen

doesn't wear her magic armor!

There's no time to lose, let's go.

Hold it right there!

Guards, take charge of the slaves.

To prove you have a pure heart

and that you are worthy to be our Queen,

you must be left alone with the Gods

for three days and three nights!

To this day, only one potential queen

has failed to pass the test, our dear departed Salmira.

Oh!

Here, slip this shell round your neck.

You can use its powers to get rid of Nisa.

Oh, it's fantastic.

What else would you expect from the God of the Seas?

Water is my life!

Tyra is definitely up to something.

Though what, I don't know, considering she's not even here.

- [Tyra] Oh yes, I am!

I'm dreaming, right?

If you hadn't been so unruly, young lady,

I might have considered letting you live!

These men saved my life.

I'm your queen, Salmira!

Don't you recognize me, Sisters?

Nice try, beggar woman!

Guards, seize them all.

Look, Salmira, the armor.

Good idea, let's hope I'm still in Athena's favor.

This is pure sacrilege.

Enjoying your shower, my Queen?

Pardon me, pond scum.

On a hot day like this, I could use a little dip.

You men and women are such fools!

Poseidon's given me power enough to wipe out all of you!

What shoddy construction!

Yup, stonework's not what it used to be!

(devious laughter)

Look out, Ulysses!

Listen, I saw something shiny in the center of her body.

I think it's the source of her powers.

You've got to believe me.

You must destroy it.

You are one crazy little man!

You must have lost your mind! You're going to drown!

Oh no!

You amazon wash-out.

I can see I'm going to have to do this myself.

You've just overstepped the mark, Poseidon.

Athena, how nice to see you!

Have you forgotten that the terms of our wager

clearly state that you may not act upon Ulysses directly?

I must have forgotten to read the fine print.

All right, you win this round.

But remember, Ulysses isn't home yet!

Ulysses, I hereby proclaim you

an official friend to the Amazon people.

You and your Companions will always be welcome

on our island.

It's a great honor, Your Majesty.

Does this mean you no longer think men are a waste of space?

Depends on the man.

And you, Nisa, my dear,

have proved your worth as a potential queen.

Will you stay with us, to assume the throne of the Amazons,

when that time finally comes?

Thanks for the offer, Queen Salmira, but I can't accept.

The sacred armor will have to pick somebody else.

After all, someone has to keep these unruly men in line!
